I'm going to write about one my team was in simply because I havent seen many that we werent in.

At SVR, we were allied with 115. We had been continually flipping throughout the day, so we werent sure what was going to happen. I dont remember what happened in autonomy, but around 15-30 seconds into the match we started to drive up on a box. We got to a point where we were resting perfectly on the back of our robot at a 90* angle. We asked 115 to come over and push us so that we would be righted again. They drove over, hit us at full speed, and we quite literally flew a few feet. We landed perfectly on the bottom of our robot on top of another box. They hit us again and we finally had our wheels on the floor. We thought we were going to lose, so we went and took out an opposing stack of 2-4(dont remember). We all headed for the ramp at the end. 115 got on, and we were pushing against another team to get on next to them. We were continually on and off the ramp, so we decided to push the other team all the way off to give us enough space to not be touching 115 incase we didnt end up on the ramp. As the clock expired, we came off of the ramp. As we sat there waiting for the scores to be posted, we realized that we were actually hanging over the mesh, balanced on two wheels and part of the opposing alliances robot. We got the 25 points and won by quite a bit...If only we hadnt taken their stack down.

I was absolutely amazed after that match
